So, okay, I don't want to be a traitor to my generation and all, but I don't get Alexander Wang.

That said, I'm always stoked to see innovative sunnies on the runway. And with Fashion Week in full swing here in New York, I'll be keeping an eye out for them.

Alexander Wang's sunglasses, a collaboration with Linda Farrow, were made of velvet, of all things.

Can't help but think that the L.A. Times is spot on when it predicts: "And with his knack for starting trends, come fall, expect to see plenty of backpacks and velvet sunglasses on the scene."
